SHEPPARD, Anthony Norris December 6, 1935 - December 29, 2009 On Tuesday, December 29, 2009, Anthony (Tony) Sheppard of Edmonton passed away peacefully at the age of 74. Tony will always be dearly missed and fondly remembered by Emily, his wife of 46 years; son, Grant (Leslie); and two daughters, Shelly (Scott) Zurfluh and Lara (John Pierce). The legacy of his powerful and loving spirit will be carried on through his much adored grandchildren, Sara, Shelby, Adam, Ashleigh, Logan and a granddaughter expected to arrive early in the New Year. Tony also leaves behind his brothers, Roy (Elva) and Gary (Marlene); and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that will always remember his kind heart and willingness to give all of himself to those in his life. Tony is predeceased by his father, Thomas Lowe Sheppard; mother, Margaret 'Daisy' Sheppard; stepfather, Cy Barker; brother, William 'Bill'; and sister-in-law, Helen. Throughout his fifty-three year career in the Insurance Brokerage industry, Tony was well respected for his honesty, integrity and knowledge, as well as his willingness to assist a friend or competitor in need. Tony was an avid supporter of the underdog and was passionately committed to the welfare of his community. He demonstrated this through affiliations with numerous charitable, political and community organizations. Tony loved people and lived life to the fullest. He treasured his time at the lake with his family and friends, and he and his wife enjoyed travelling throughout the world. Tony left the world and those whose lives he touched better than how he found them. He will live on in our hearts and our minds.
